The (ab)surd golden ratio | Robb Enzmann | TEDxMiamiUniversity
Mathematics has become the ugly duckling of the American education system. At first it's strange and maybe a little scary, but matures into something beautiful later on. Most people don't get to see that stage, though, and it's Robb Enzmann's intent to bring the fun part of math into the layperson's life by exploring one of nature's most fascinating numbers: The Golden Ratio.
Robb is a senior at Miami University, planning to graduate with a B.A. in Music and a B.A. in Mathematics this coming May, and will attend Miami’s graduate school to pursue an M.A. in mathematics starting in August. Robb is a passionate lover of music and technology, and blends the two as a professional music editor for figure skaters across the country. He originally came to Miami to study piano, but after taking a course in the history of mathematics his junior year, he gained a new perspective of math and picked up the double major. For his math capstone, he chose to study the Golden Ratio, since there were rumors that it could be found in the compositional structure of some music. To his dismay, most music, art, body proportions, architecture, and other things pertaining to aesthetics were completely devoid of the Golden Ratio.
